Parides Klagesi
''Parides klagesi'' is a species of butterfly in the family Papilionidae. It was thought to be endemic to Venezuela before being discovered in Brazil. A recent, freely available article by Olaf Mielke and Mirna Casagrande (2007) summarizes the known geographical distribution of the species. Because of the prior CITES listing and apparent rarity, this species was placed in the endangered species list for the northern Brazilian state of Pará. Description A peculiar little species in which the hinder angle of the cell on the forewing is quite rounded; neither the forewing nor the hindwing has distinct fringe-spots. Forewing with a white band before the hindmargin; hindwing with a band composed of red spots. Abdomen entirely black, even at the tip. The male, taken only in 1983, is described by Racheli and Pischedda (1987) A full description of the female is provided by Rothschild, W. and Jordan, K. (1906) [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
George Alexander Ehrman
George Alexander Ehrman (2 February 1862,Pittsburgh- 30 January, 1926,Pittsburgh) was an American entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera notably Papilionidae. Ehrman invented equipment which came into general use in the manufacture of blown and pressed glass for the Macbeth-Evans Glass Company and the United States Glass Company. In later years he was employed in the Research Laboratory of the Mesta Machine Company. Financially secure Ehrman was able during his later life to devote himself to natural history including ornithology. He made extensive collections of the Lepidoptera and Coleoptera of western Pennsylvania then extended his collections worldwide. He specialised in Papilionidae, the genus ''Catocala'', and the butterflies and moths of Liberia, and the beetle genus ''Cychrus'' and its allies. His collection of American und exotic Rhopalocera and Coleoptera was bequeathed to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History The Carnegie Museum of Natural History (abbrev ...

Imataka Mountains
The Imataka Mountains are located in the north-west of Guyana and north-east of Venezuela. The area is extremely rich in forest, water and mineral resources. Huge deposits of iron ore are known. Manganese deposits are found in north-west Guyana, while gold and diamonds, among other minerals, are found in the Barima, Mazaruni, Cuyuni and Potaro areas. The Imataka mountains separate the Barama River The Barama River is a tributary of the Waini River, both being in the Barima-Waini administrative region of Guyana. Settlements on the river include Kariaco (Kariako) and Chinese Landing. An airstrip (Yakishuri Aerodrome) was opened in 2011 to pr ... system from the Cuyuni.

Papilionidae Of South America
Swallowtail butterflies are large, colorful butterflies in the family Papilionidae, and include over 550 species. Though the majority are tropical, members of the family inhabit every continent except Antarctica. The family includes the largest butterflies in the world, the birdwing butterflies of the genus ''Ornithoptera''. Swallowtails have a number of distinctive features; for example, the papilionid caterpillar bears a repugnatorial organ called the osmeterium on its prothorax. The osmeterium normally remains hidden, but when threatened, the larva turns it outward through a transverse dorsal groove by inflating it with fluid. The forked appearance in some of the swallowtails' hindwings, which can be seen when the butterfly is resting with its wings spread, gave rise to the common name ''swallowtail''. As for its formal name, Linnaeus chose ''Papilio'' for the type genus, as ''papilio'' is Latin for "butterfly". For the specific epithets of the genus, Linnaeus applied ...

Insects Of Brazil
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. Insect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Invertebrates Of Venezuela
Invertebrates are a paraphyletic group of animals that neither possess nor develop a vertebral column (commonly known as a ''backbone'' or ''spine''), derived from the notochord. This is a grouping including all animals apart from the chordata, chordate subphylum vertebrate, Vertebrata. Familiar examples of invertebrates include arthropods, mollusks, annelids, echinoderms and cnidarians. The majority of animal species are invertebrates; one estimate puts the figure at 97%. Many invertebrate taxon, taxa have a greater number and variety of species than the entire subphylum of Vertebrata. Invertebrates vary widely in size, from 50 Micrometre, μm (0.002 in) rotifers to the 9–10 m (30–33 ft) colossal squid. Some so-called invertebrates, such as the Tunicate, Tunicata and Lancelet, Cephalochordata, are more closely related to vertebrates than to other invertebrates. This makes the invertebrates Paraphyly, paraphyletic, so the term has little meaning in taxonomy (biology), ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Butterfly
Butterflies are insects in the macrolepidopteran clade Rhopalocera from the Order (biology), order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the large superfamily (zoology), superfamily Papilionoidea, which contains at least one former group, the skippers (formerly the superfamily "Hesperioidea"), and the most recent analyses suggest it also contains the moth-butterflies (formerly the superfamily "Hedyloidea"). Butterfly fossils date to the Paleocene, about 56 million years ago. Butterflies have a four-stage life cycle, as like most insects they undergo Holometabolism, complete metamorphosis. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
International Union For Conservation Of Nature
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN; officially International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. It is involved in data gathering and analysis, research, field projects, advocacy, and education. IUCN's mission is to "influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable". Over the past decades, IUCN has widened its focus beyond conservation ecology and now incorporates issues related to sustainable development in its projects. IUCN does not itself aim to mobilize the public in support of nature conservation. It tries to influence the actions of governments, business and other stakeholders by providing information and advice and through building partnerships. The organization is best known to the wider pu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
